Not a million miles away here in Trafford and I have a few loops out through carrington and High Legh, Great Budworth, Knutsford including Tatton Park then out towards Hale, Altincham way. Around 40 - 45 miles. Not many hills that way though (which is a good thing in my case).

Sorry don't have a GPS type thingamajig but there are loads of lovely quiet lanes in that neck of the woods.

If it were me I'd head out towards Hale, Wilmslow past the airport and then just do your own thing from there. Loads to go at.

Yeah I'm just looking on the map at that area now. Also Poynton/Wilmslow way looks quite good. I was hoping for a few hills as I'm riding more in evenings to improve fitness, but maybe it's not doable in a couple of hours from the doorstep.

Yeah the more I look at the map and play with that routetoaster site the more I realise how daft a question it was. I've already got a loop round New Mills in the works which should be ridable in 3 hrs (Maybe after a few goes at it anyway)
